Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center-of-gravity method is used to determine the optimal location for a facility or distribution center based on minimizing transportation costs. It considers the combination of volume and distance, but it does not take into consideration the value of goods shipped. The location of markets is also a factor that is not explicitly considered in the method.
